Angel had arrived at Parkrose High School armed with a shotgun roughly 40 minutes after texting his ex-girlfriend saying he’d be late for school.

Parkrose superintendent Michael Lopes-Serrao said two students informed a staff member about Angel’s concerning behavior.

In the panic that followed, students all ran out of the classroom. Some students said they hid in closets, theater makeup rooms, or ran away from school.

Police officers were called and they responded to the school at 11:48 a.m. Friday. No one was injured.

Officers recovered the gun at the scene. It’s not yet clear if any shots were fired.
